What action may a police officer take under the PER SE LAW upon arrest for intoxicated driving?

Under the PER SE LAW, when a police officer arrests an individual for driving while intoxicated, one of the specific actions they are authorized to take is to confiscate the person’s driver's license. This law establishes a zero-tolerance standard for driving with a blood alcohol concentration over a certain limit, indicating that the presence of alcohol can impair driving ability, leading to legal consequences.

Confiscating the driver's license serves multiple purposes: it acts as an immediate punitive measure reflecting the seriousness of the offense and helps prevent the individual from driving while impaired. This action also facilitates the legal process that follows, as the individual will likely face administrative penalties and possible court proceedings related to their driving violation.

The other options reflect actions that are not consistent with the specific powers granted to law enforcement under the PER SE LAW in this context. Setting a court date typically happens later as part of the judicial process rather than at the time of arrest. A written warning does not correspond to the severe consequences of a DUI arrest under the PER SE LAW, and while detention may occur, it's not as definitive as the action of license confiscation in terms of immediate legal implications.
